Tucked between five other South American countries, Bolivia is a landlocked, developing, Spanish-speaking democracy. The population is multiethnic with thirty-seven official languages: thirty-four indigenous languages, Quecha, Aymara, and Spanish. The country broke from Spanish rule in 1825 and is named for Simon Bolivar.

Bolivia is one of the most remote countries in the Americas and still mostly unexplored by tourists. The people here are friendly and welcoming. If you speak some Spanish and have a sense of adventure, you should be able to explore the out of the way destinations throughout the provinces. Many of the destinations not listed in the guidebooks are Bolivia
